Story of How Two Women Struggled

The tiny little Infant who reposed
In tho Incubator at the St. Lou 1b Fair
bus, since the close of that exposition,
attracted more attention than it did
during the entire time that It was the
object of Interest of the sightseers.
At the close of the Imposition, two
women sought possession of the child,
each claiming It to be her own. Each
secured a writ giving her the custody

at first been awarded tne care oi me
Infant through the ruling of the law
at Mollne, Illinois, took the law into
her own hands when the court at Law
rence, Kausas, decided against her.
According to bis own story, Senator
m n Smith, of Kinsley, played an
important role In the case when the
mother of the "Incubator baby" re
cently disappeared suddenly with the
babv from Lawrence.
"When Mrs. Bleakley left the court
room at Lawrence after the decision
against her," he stated, "and returned
to her mother's house she was nearly
frantic. In mere desperation she
fled from the hack door and sought
refuge in a college fraternity bouse
nearby and begged the boys to help
her. It was then nearly G o'clock, and
the parents of one of the boys, a red
headed frat. youngster, were expect

would put her on the train for Mollne.
As a precaution the Sheriff added

f W. M. WOO-.TIB.
About fifty miles north of the Din
Horn Mountains, and forty miles south
from the Yellowstone Hlver, In south-
eaaiern Montana, live tho tribe of fear
less Northern Cheyenne Indians. A
few decades ago they ranged the greal
plains, following the buffalo, but are
now attached to the Tongue River
Agency.
The men are tall, well-built, brave;
and their women are proverbially
chaste. With the disappearance of the
game and the decadence of Inter tribal
warring, the young braves have bad
little or no opportunity to show their
prowess.
In the summer of 1890, two young
men Head Chief and Young Mule
who had failed to And favor with the
maidens of their choice, took to the
war path to win distinction and wives.
A moou! and the disappointed lovers,
wearing tbelr eagle feathers red
1 1 piied, as warriors do, were again at
borne.
Humors of their return soon reached
their Agent, who recalled that a white
herder living near the reservation bad
been missing from bis home for nearly
a month.
The Murder of a Sheep Herder.
The returned braves were question
ed. They openly admitted going on
the war-path and killing the herder. A
detachment of the two troops of caval
ry stationed at the Agency, assisted by
aome Northern Cheyeones, made
search for the body. It was found on
the evening of September 9, and had
been scalped.
Fearing trouble, three additional
troops were hurriedly sent from Fort
Kcogh, Montana, and the Agent called
a council of the chiefs and head-men,
demanding that they arrest and de
liver the murderers.
Two Moons, the war chief, battle
scarred and old, pleaded for the young
braves, offering a ransom of thirty
ponies for the dead herder. This was
declined. Chief Amelcan Horse then
arose and said his warriors would
fight If the soldiers attempted to take
the young braves alive; and that their
final messago was:
"Select the place of meeting, and we
will come and die in your sight, fight
ing the soldiers."
The council waa dismissed, and the
Indians returned In the evening to
their lodges In the bills south, of the
Agency.
Twilight fell. Soon a flaming arrow
blazed like a rocket In the southern
sky. And far to the north, signal fires
were seen.
Catherine of the Warriors.
Alt nli-ht ni-mer! warriors, hldeouslv
painted, hurried to the circle of hills
commanding the Agency, while lights
burned late In the valley oeiow. wnere
the agency officers were consulting.
In the crimson dawn, watching war
rlom saw a mounted Indian DOllce
leave the Agency and take his way
southward along the misty mountain
trail. It was the decision for peace or
for war. As the first rays of the sun
gilded the Indians' tepees, he drew
rein and dismounted at tne lodge oi
American Horse. The challenge of the
twn Virsvp tn flsrht tha soldiers had
been accepted to fight at the Agency
at set ot sun.
nirectlv runnnra were off to inter
cept the fleeing squaws and children.
The warriors clamored ror a ngni wiui
the troops but the chief refused. The
council, he said, had spoken with
straight, not crooked, tongues.
Slowly tho chill September morning
warmed to amythest afternoon. An
eagle wheeled high above the bills,
which formed an ampitheatre. In the
center, or arena, were the Agency
buildings and the troops. As the
shadows crept out In the valley, the
spectators warriors old ana young,
and squawa with papooses and children
-hocMi taVInar their ulaces on m
circle of hills. They would Bee the
fight
" With Hearts of Iron.
Forth from their refuge in the Wolf
Mountains, rodo Head Chief and Young
Mule, painted and armed for war. Un
guarded they rode. Still was there time
to eacape, but the pride of their race,
held them. They went on.
Five miles to the north lay the peace.

to the west and drew rein.- The sun

Presently they pass some warriors
who promptly signal their approach to
the waiting Indian spectators. Now
they gallop to the very crest of a high
bill, perhaps five hundred yards west
of the Agency buildings. There they

A bugle sounds. The troopers mount
and move to a dry creek-bed about fifty
yards from the Agency. They take
position In the form of a crescent, and
sit with loaded carbines unslung,
waiting. y
At tho top of the long steep bill In
their front, silhouetted against the
flaming ky, sit the two slender braves
on thdr ponies. Cooly they lash them
selves to their saddles. Raising their
rifles high above their heads, they

whirl and give the swaying flying
braves another deadly volley at c!oe

Head Chief reels frightfully la his

A very comprehensive bill has been
Introduced in the House of Kepresenta
tlves by Congressman Steenerson of
Minnesota, who, if he can push hla
measure to enactment Into a law, will
be deserving of the praise of not only
this but future generations. His bill
Is a practical extension of the old
homestead Idea, or rather, perhaps, an
application, to the vast areas of our
swamp lands, of the Idea embodied in
the national irrigation law.
There are In the neighborhood of
10O million acres of swamp land3 in
the United States, some 70 million of
which have been surveyed, the great
bulk of which would make splendid
farms, if the excess of water were
drained off.
The Steenerson bill provides for the
beginning of the work of reclamation
of these huge areas. The measure is
framed after the Irrigation law; it pro
vides that the receipts from the sales
of public lands in the non-irrlgatlon
states shall constitute a "drainage
fund" to be expended by the Govern:
ment in great drainage works, and
further, that the cost of such drainage,

shall bo pro-rated among the land

Into the "fund," to bn used over again
for additional reclamation work.
Would Create Thousands of Homes
This plan of developing the Interna-!
resources of the country and making
homes of waste places, is splendid In
its scope, and appears to be entirely
practicable and profitable. Take for
instance, the single example of the
swamp lands of the Kankakee River
basin in Indiana and Illinois. Here
are some 400 thousand acres of the
very richest of bottom lands, but sub
ject to overflow. They are worthless
except where they have been reclaimd
through expensive private drainage
works, when they have become worth
$100. and $150. an acre. Yet It is es
timated by the government surveyors
and engineers that the entire system
could be effectively drained at a cost
in the neighborhood of $10 an acre.
The same can be said of the lands of
the Red River Valley in Minnesota.
These include the finest grain and
farm lands in the northwest except
that they are frequently overflowed. It
would be worth millions of dollars to
the farmers and settlers, who would
occupy these lands in small tracts, to
have a perfect system of drainage pro
vided. These extensive systems, how
ever, especially where they are Inter
state, seem to be feasible for handling
only by the general government
The Steenerson bill places the en
tire management of the work in the
Reclamation Service and the plan of
operation follows very closely the Ir
rigation work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Department.
Government lands, ceded Indian lands
and private lands may be included in
any drainage project but In each case
the cost of the drainage improvement
Is to be borne by the owner of the
land and no settler can have drainage
provided for more than 160 acres, thus
insuring the division of the tracts into
small farms which must be actually
settled upon and tilled.
Drainage Work Already In Progress
This work the Reclamation Service
Is qualified to do at this very moment.
While primarily an engineering bureau
it has, in all its great irrigation pro
jects, to deal directly with the farmer.
It must outline a comprehensive drain
age system for each irrigation project.
